OUR DATA

Surveys are the most important source for our data, statistics, and reports on the Dutch workforce. TNO collaborates with the CBS (Statistics Netherlands) and other research institutions to ensure that our data is representative for the Dutch workforce. By now we have accumulated several large datasets (e.g. NEA, WEA, ZEA, STREAM, CODI), each looking at the Dutch labor market from a different perspective (e.g. employers, employees, self-employed persons).
